Sunset on the Beach

It was really nice again, but something weird is going on.

Whenever I take a sunset photo and the sun isn't partially obscured by clouds, it gets this weird aura around it. It's nothing I do, it comes off the camera looking like this. I've tried on every setting and it still happens.

Beautiful! I see the "aura" in the last one but not the first two. Don't know what to tell you. Because they all turned out well!! The one with the aura looks like a flower from the 70's. I'm sure you don't know what I'm talking about :)

o idk about the outline. use a smaller aperture maybe? i can't see your EXIF metadata so i can't really offer anything. plus there's maybe a lot of clutter in the atmosphere - dust and pollen and other pollutants that lend itself to the non distinct outline

You just keep doing what you're doing, if the results are like these! I put #2 in my faves because the layers of clouds and colors just go on forever! And I'm glad you identified the pelicans, because I noticed them right away!

I'm not entirely sure in regards to the aura.. in my eyes these are all just so beautiful. Don't all sun shots kinda have that? I guess, the only things I can possibly think are either like David said, the haze/pollutants in the air, even marginally, or, and increase in colour saturation through the camera's internal autosettings?
At any rate Feebs, these are b-e-a-utiful :))

Wow! These are simply stunning..love that rainbow of colors..stripes no less. Do you focus right on the sun? Sometimes it's better to shoot just to the side of it..Favored both of these..love the birds in the corner too..
